Aura Farwell
Hi! My name is Aura Farwell and I have been a Colorado resident for all of my life. I grew up in Buena Vista, CO and am a proud Mountain Mama! I love to explore all things Colorado, but I am happy to travel as far and wide as I can, too. Discovering new cultures, communities and places is a source of fulfillment for me. I'm all about new experiences and adventure makes my heart sing!
I am a very creative person and try to get my hands on anything artistic, from drawing and painting to writing, crafting and photography. I am a photographer by trade and I love to capture the human essence. I love to photograph, draw and paint people and to discover the depths of each individual through their eyes. Since people fascinate me so much, human connection is important to me and I look forward to meeting new people every day.

Aura Farwell is available for private bookings

I am available most Saturdays/Sundays and Mondays from 11am-9pm.
I am available for private tutoring for drawing classes, mostly in portraits and the human form.
I am available for photography of weddings, events, portraits, graduations, etc.
